PageMaker by Aldus Software is the acknowledged pioneer "desk-top publishing" program, which provides the microcomputer user with capabilities formerly available only to a professional typesetter. With PageMaker, the user can design the layout of his own publications, manipulate the text and graphics on the computer screen, and print out a finished camera-ready product on his own printer.

• Greater control over the finished product - the ability to experiment with varying text appearances (fonts, leading, kerning, etc.) on the computer screen before printing it out WYSIWYG ("What you see is what you get")
• Faster turn-around time for the skilled user, especially for minochanges
• Cost savings - the cost of the PageMaker software package may soon pay for itself over the cost of a typesetter
• This course provides the user with the basic skills necessary to
• Access and customize the PageMaker software
• Design the layout for a publication, incorporating various character sizes, fonts, and other text attributes
• Insert and delete text directly using the PageMaker text-editing capabilities, or import text from a variety of popular word processing packages into PageMaker
• Reformat the text - adjusting margins, tabs, page lengths, page endings, and page numbering
• Incorporate graphics into the document - lines, boxes and circles to enclose specific text within the document
• Import scanned-image photographs or graphic artistry from other software packages into the document
• This one-day PageMaker course provides the user a foundation for desk-top publishing and requires no previous knowledge of computer operations aside from basic typing skills
